We know baking muffins sounds a little wimpy but just hear us out. This isn’t “baking” like you’re probably imagining. Nobody’s asking you to tie on an apron or slip on a pair of patterned oven mitts. Seriously—read the directions: There are literally three easy steps between you right now and you with a tray of 12 protein-packed muffins. Look down at your hands. Are they holding muffins? No? Well in 23 minutes they can be. The hardest part of this is going to be stopping yourself from eating more than one, but get past that and you’ve got yourself 12 servings of a delicious, nutrition-packed, muscle-building snack. Enjoy.
